I'm really excited to hear what the Axlites have to say

I might not be an Axlite but I'm probably closer to it than yourself and I say; Shit happens. A lot.

All I ever wanted from Axl Rose was for him to play some songs.....that's all.....

I never wanted him to fucking "owe" me anything....unlike most people on this board...i never wanted him to talk to me directly...i was more than happy with standing at the back of the arena, just listening to him....singing...

all he ever had to do was sing....old songs, new songs....didn't matter....as long as he sang....

this political crap which has been going on for years is not cool....not cool at all.

I'm going wait for official confirmation about the Australian tour.

I'm very concerned at this stage though.

I don't know about this Tommy's hand not healing for that long of a delay.

Why would it be postponed otherwise? The album has been handed in for mixing etc??

Let's hope we hear something soon

I feel sorry for the fans.

Since I got tix and got excited for GNR, I now know what it feels like to be let down by GN'R - if indeed these dates have been cancelled.

People have booked air tickets. It's really unacceptable.

Tommy's hand CANNOT be blamed for this. They can get a replacement. Maybe not for Japan as Tommy plays an important role on stage too, but this far in advance, they can get a replacement.

This is probably the first time ever that I feel like pulling the plug on GN'R.

"The next morning my hand looked like a balloon. I went to see my doctor, and while the good news is that it's not broken, the bad is news is it's severely sprained and I may have done some ligament damage"

I was already concerned when i read the last part of that. Ligaments can be very slow to heal especially if its worse then the original diagnosis

[badapple81]

They can get a replacement for SA and the other shows this far in advance for Tommy. I understand Japan as he plays a key role in rehearsals etc. but not these days.

If the world tour is off, I am going to feel so let down. SInce getting the tix and getting excited, and seeing people buying plane tix etc, I can udnerstand the let down now.

Wait for the official news.

'Yes we have unfortunately had to cancel SA as we are going to be busy promoting our album'.

[MyWayYourWay]

Fact they play 70 shows this year, beginning in Asia. that means Europe will come somewhere in July through september and on.

Where did the confirmation that they would play 70 dates come from?

NewGNR.com

considering the source that is just pure speculation .

NewGNR always been right.

Sure. "We're dodging a paycheck so that we can wait 18 months for royalties." It makes total sense.

[coeus]

I think its good that they are not doing coke.. it would only delay the album further.

Yeah hopefully we will hear something soon, I have emailed the promoter asking for clarification.

I just feel for those that have spent money on flights and the like, if it is cancelled.

Could be good that I could not get my tickets in the pre-sale, no access to visa.

How true

Why should they get a replacement? Canceling the shows looks awful, but that's their prerogative. If they don't feel comfortable going out there with a temp player, for whatever reason, that (and the fall-out) is their problem.

Jarmo come on and delete this topic or put "FAKE" please

Why should they get a replacement? Cos fans of theirs have bought tickets, gotten excited about it, maybe bought plane tix non refundable or hotels.. thats why! Dont let the fans down.

[KaptainKuntra]

I just hope we get an update on the website with some positive news, like an update on the mixing process or anything. This isn't good.
